From the Lawrence Daily World for July 16, 1907: “Tom Cary was convicted and fined in court here today by Judge Menger for running a joint. It was his second conviction in a week. : The local subscription fund to raise $30,000 toward building a rock road from here to Kansas City has topped $15,000 and we will continue to list the names of those who are contributing to this worthwhile project. : The Lawrence Ministerial Alliance completed another year of productive activity with a dinner for spouses and guests at the Wilson House.”
